[1000mp] 1000MP Mark V Field & PSK31/MFSK31/RTTY Via Soundcard

Fri May 14 15:43:27 EDT 2004

Mike et all,
  YES GEEZ I wasn't pushing the PKT button on the front of the rig. I send PSK31 in USB so naturally was pushing the USB button! All is okay now except when I push the PKT button the LSB button activates instead of the USB which is the convention for PSK31, even though PSK31 is sideband independent.

Can I change it to PKT USB from present PKT LSB and is it done in menu 8-6? Also what about menu setting "Packet Tone Frequency" 6-5?

  Tom,

  The problem is that you haven't pushed in the packet button in the mode array of buttons to the left of the main tuning knob.  With this button pressed in the radio accepts audio from the packet socket and suppresses the mic input.  When this button is not activated the radio will not accept audio from the packet socket but expects it from the mic.

  The same thing happened to me.

    I bought a new FT-1000MP Mark V Field last weekend and am just getting around to interfacing it via my homebrewed digital interface and homebrewed computer. For DSP software I use Hamscope v1.54 because it supports PSK31, MFSK16 and RTTY.

    Using the supplied five pin packet male plug I soldered transceiver audio out to soundcard in at pin #4 (data out) and that works fine. I also soldered the PTT line from the computer to pin #3 and that keys the rig up fine. The problem is with soundcard audio out to transceiver audio in. I soldered that to pin #1 (data in) and I get no or low audio in, even with the soundcard controls turned up to an acceptable level. So I presume that this is the wrong place for audio in to the 
    transceiver. As far as I can see I either send audio in via the mic jack on the front of the rig which is unacceptable to me because of wear and tear on the male jack. Or I use RCA female "Patch" jack on the back of the rig, which is also unacceptable to me because it's tied to the mic jack on front and I would still have to unhook the MD-100 desk mic to prevent audio pick up.

    Am I missing something? Also as far as menu settings, I went to 8-6 and set it up by selecting Easy-Set with the sub VFO knob and PS31-SU with the main VFO knob. I also tried PS31-U. 

    Any help would be appreciated.
